Dump drawer contents to text file with date file size and version number?

Hi, I normally use SYSMON or Ranger to check my libs versions. Those programs do not offer an option to output to text file. Is there a shell command that would do this?

Thanks.

@ddni

Well you can make a script, to do this.
I'm not at my computer, so excuse any mistakes

List all lformat "echo *"%p%n*"*nversion *"%p%n*"" > t:X
Execute t:X

Thanks,
I apprecaite your help, not getting version numbers though.
The output files shows for each file:

echo "minigl.library"
version "minigl.library"

@ddni

Yes and then you pipe it into t:X
So you get a file t:x with all the commands.
This is now script you can execute, with the execute command.

Hope this helps you

Thanks, it really put me on the right lines.

Daedalus suggested to use SPat "version >> t:output.txt"#? which worked for me.

I just have the Version column enabled for Libs:, C:, and such directories in DOpus... and then you can print the directory to a file with it too :)

Good tip, DirOpus4?

I've been using Magellan2 since 1998, so I don't remember if DOpus4 had configurable columns (or even per dir ones). And if the original doesn't, I also don't know if this feature has been added to newer open source ones... sorry.

@jPV

DirOpus 4 does have configurable columns, but version is not among the data you can select for a column.

One way around it could of course be a script or program which puts the version into the file comment for all libraries in the LIBS: drawer (if that's what is needed), and then the comment could be selected as one of the columns to display.

It has some drawbacks, of course. One is that you can't use the comment for anything else, should you wish to, and another is that you have to do it again if you update any libraries.

P.S. Personally, I'd go with someting like:

list LIBS: files pat #?.library lformat "version %s%s file full" | execute IN:

- and then just copy/paste the output from the Shell; for some reason I can't get it to pipe it into a file.

Best regards,

Niels

@nbache

Thanks Niels. Looks interesting.
I got what I needed with this command suggested by Daedalus.

SPat "version >> t:output.txt"#?
